[quote]Yes, pits do have a natural disposition for aggressiveness; however, to our family, as well as our guests, the are just big lap dogs. On the otherhand, woe be to any creature not permitted on our premises.[/quote]
Then your Pit Bull does not have a true Pit Bull Temperament.
They DO NOT have a natural disposition for aggressiveness towards humans.
There is a saying amongst people that REALLY know the dogs.
A Pit Bull never meets a stranger.
They are human friendly and that is why they do not make good guard dogs.
They are more likely to show you where the money and Jewels are kept and try to sit in your lap while you`re looting the place than to guard the loot.
People may be less likely to break in because of their unfounded fears (Rusty!)
There is a BIG difference between a dog kept as a Pet and what`s called a Resident dog kept outside that is
kept for guarding purposes and prompted/encouraged to show aggression.
Even if you are keeping your dog inside,NO Pit Bull with true temperament would be showing aggression towards humans(not even strangers),nor should it be encouraged.
These are people friendly dogs.
